I guess I’ve played a lot longer, but this was a bit of a chore.
Thanks GTi

I don't understand how you can play that for so long 😃
Plus such a bad game design. At least on the 8bit computers you have a tight time limit.
But still a +1

Good run, Pete! Voting yes.
Regarding point pressing vs. leeching, for those who haven't seen my take on this elsewhere, leeching is not possible in this game. No matter what the player tries to do, they are *always* progressing in the game, as it is not possible to rack up points remaining in the same place or even move backwards to gain more points, with every motion getting the player closer to the finite end, which would preclude leeching. This is very effective point pressing. If anyone is interested in the creation of a Calif. Games BMX track that prohibits the technique used here, it will be tough to describe what the limitations would be, but I can certainly create it upon request.

LOL, this game's scoring system seems to be really silly. :) Anyway, even if it's a bit extreme, I reckon that it should be considered point pressing, not leeching. Therefore I'm voting yes.

Yes, thanks! I was just thinking about other competitors that may want to play this game in a 'normal' fashion and don't stand a chance. On the other hand a new chart where using this tactic can always and only lead to the same maxscore is a bit pointless (other than in Cosmic Ark). I'm against creating redundancy and tending towards avoiding specific rules and restrictions where possible! You found/adopted an inventive way to play this and managed to apply it perfectly! (Besides it's quite funny to watch! 😆). In case a competitor disgrees they can bring a request for a chart split but I'm convinced we should leave it whole. I'm voting yes! 👍

There is a bit of a discussion over here if it helps??

Yeah, point pressing. The other top spot also used this tactic quite excessively. I think this may call for a seperate chart. 🤔

Maybe, but i suppose it more like point pressing , anyway I'm just matching the top score here
RetroRob
It's a clever tactic for sure! 😄 Maybe there should be 2 charts in this case one being 'all tactics allowed' (like in Cosmic Ark)?
